Thursday, Nov. 2, 11AM-12PM, Room S230CDeveloping a Confident Diver • Presented by Derik Crotts, NAUI 10943LThe #1 reason for diver dropout is lack of confidence. Confident divers are self-assured and develop the knowledge, skill and ability needed to deal with a variety of diving situations. This seminar is designed to explore how NAUI is addressing this industry issue by providing increased value to the student with an integrated training program concept designed to boost diver confidence, competence and retention.

Thursday, Nov. 2, 1PM-2pm, Room S230CUnderstanding Diving Risk Management • Presented by Bill Ziefle, NAUI H2016As leaders and dive store owners it’s important that you understand how to best manage the risks associated with your daily activities. Accidents occur despite our best intentions, and many accidents involve certified divers rather than students. We can most effectively manage risk while training and leading others, but we must also strive to have a continuing influence on diver’s behavior after they have left our care. If divers fully understand the risks inherent in diving, and limits of their training, they are less likely to blame others for their actions or misfortune. Fully informed divers can better assume the responsibilities involved in diving, and make it easier for you to manage both your risk, and theirs. Proof of NAUI membership is required for attendance.

It employs a dual phase approach with separated phase volumes as limit points, along with critical tensions across tissue compartments. Developed by Dr. Bruce Wienke (NAUI #5343L), the algorithm is now incorporated into many dive computers and advanced dive planning software. Today it enhances the safety of serious deep and technical divers.

Friday, Nov. 3, 11AM-12PM, Room S230CLeadership Rescue Primer • Presented by Walt “Butch” Hendrick, NAUI 1724Most dive leaders never receive any rescue training beyond the skills taught in their basic diver rescue course.

Friday, Nov. 3, 12PM-1PM, Room S230DDiving Hazards with Rebreathers • Presented by Tim O’Leary, NAUI 10144Data suggest that CCR diving entails a much higher risk level than that of open circuit diving. This increased risk cannot be explained away by lack of proper training. CCR divers tend to be much more experienced and trained than Open Circuit divers. Yet the incidents per diver ratio appear to be higher and more catastrophic. This presentation will describe some rebreather incidents, possible failure modes and how associated risks can be reduced. This session is open to all.

Friday, Nov. 3, 12PM-1PM, Room S230CPromoting NAUI and Your Business Through Social Media • Presented by Angie Cowan, NAUI 53628To make social media an effective lead generation machine, you first need to generate a following -- fans for your Facebook page, followers for your Twitter account and LinkedIn company page, etc. The more fans and followers you have for your social media presence, the better reach you’ll have.

Friday, Nov. 3, 1PM-2PM, Room S230DSell the Culture of Change • Presented by Tec Clark, NAUI 10362Sell the Culture is an insightful and subtle sales approach that focuses on marketing a “lifestyle” to customers. Scuba retailers, their instructors and staff, must sell the scuba lifestyle – the culture. The best scuba retailers/instructors have customers who embrace a scuba lifestyle, because customers grounded in the scuba culture are continuously purchasing additional equipment, participating in continuing education, engaging in dive travel, and passionately recommending scuba to others.

Friday, Nov. 3, 2PM-5PM, Room S230DKnot Tying and Rigging for Divers • Presented by Walt “Butch” Hendrick, NAUI 1724Cost $70If you’re on, near, or underwater these knots can save your life or at least make you look very cool.

Friday, Nov. 3, 4PM-5PM, Room S230CDiving Foundations: Defining the Difference in the NAUI diver • Presented by Terrence Tysall, NAUI 16627You’ve all seen “that” diver. The one trained with minimal skills. The one who learned how to dive and was certified in a one day or weekend course. Without the foundation and understanding of proper buoyancy and trim, or the knowledge and skills of effective and efficient propulsion techniques, the diving experience will not reach its fullest reward potential for “that” diver. Why do many agencies focus more on clearing the mask and recovering the regulator than on perfecting the foundations for enjoyable diving? These foundations are cornerstone skills, not additional specialties to add if the diver has time or money. This session will discuss gear configurations, training techniques and procedures designed to enhance the diver’s skills and ability, leading to a more competent and confident diver. Proof of NAUI membership is required for attendance.

Saturday, Nov. 4, 8AM-10AM, Room S230CNAUI Member Update • Presented by Dallas Edmiston, NAUI 4099Come catch up with the latest developments of NAUI!

Saturday, Nov. 4, 10AM-11AM, Room S230CPublic Safety Diving Assessment and Analysis • Presented by Walt “Butch” Hendrick, NAUI 1724It takes the right preparation and equipment to be an effective public safety diver and team. It all begins with proper training. Too often candidates for public safety dive teams receive entry-level recreational scuba training, put on patch, mount their certificate on the wall, and go into operation. The result, in many cases the first responders can and do become the second victims. This session will discuss and review the state of public safety diver training from more than 80 combined years of experience of dedicated incident response, training and expert testimony. This session is open to all.
